I didn't do that in our resource only DLLs, e.g.

lib German : German.rc
     : <toolset>msvc
       <linkflags>/machine:I386
       <linkflags>/noentry
     : debug release
     ;

but the response file logic somehow choked on the missing import
libraries (*.lib). It tries to recreate the resource only DLL every time
because of the missing import library, but fails to create the necessary
response file when the resource DLL is up-to-date. I resorted to delete
the resource DLLs before building the project. Can this be improved
also?
